Before the Relay gets underway, the Flame will pay a visit to the EDF Energy London Eye where Amelia Hempleman-Adams, who at the age of 16 became the youngest person to ski to the South Pole, will hold it on top of a capsule on the London Eye.
The Relay will then begin from Redbridge Cycling Centre, carried by Luke Benjafield, 20 from South woodford, nominated for his dedication to the Air Training Corps 241 squadron.
Traveling through the London Boroughs of Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Bexley, Torchbearers will include Olympic Rower Ben Hunt-Davies, world heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis and 17 year old Aimee Sell nominated for her dedication to her sport of karate despite losing her sight at the age of eight.
As the final Torchbearer of the day, Lewis will carry the Olympic Flame on to the stage to light the celebration cauldron at the Evening Celebration in Danson Park in Bexley.
The Evening Celebration will feature a variety of entertainment staged by LOCOG and the three Presenting Partners of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay – Coca-Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung – with support from the London Borough of Bexley.
